    Raid 0 with a WD and a Seagate HDD?

    I really can't see much benefit to this. RAID 0 is good for speed when you are using large data files that can easily be striped across both drives in large chunks. It still doesn't excel at random access and that's what the majority of your OS and Program Files will need. You may get some...

    looking for top end router, but which one?

    Agreed, if you want "high-end" then those APs paired with this router will provide the jumping off point for the performance you want for a lot less than either of those routers...

    www.mydomain.com Vs mydomain.com

    I though that "www." was deprecated and no longer necessary at all.

    Help me decide...speed vs cap.

    My ISP (CableOne) keeps cranking up/marketing faster speeds at the same price ($75) for the last 3 years. I started at 50mbps and I am now at 150mbps, unfortunately the upload speed has always been 5mbps and they cap me at 400GB. If I could get a 20mbps+ with faster upload speed and no cap for...

    unRAID or FreeNAS?

    Probably not as expensive as updating your system with specs that run FreeNAS smoothly.

    Connecting a switch without a router?

    After taking a look at the service manual, it looks like it's simply a Network Link that provides VoIP. It can be setup as a network router. I wouldn't be surprised if the "Router" isn't just being used as a WiFi AP. OP could probably just remove it completely, however, I am a fan of "If it...

    Sure, then pay someone for that information. My point is that their data is complete enough that you can easily find the dogs, especially if just follow along as data is released. You can hit their blog and look back, too. The data is there, it's just not spoon fed and probably shouldn't be...

    NFL RB Lesean McCoy about to be arrested

    I find their presentation to be just fine. I don't need to know a 5 year failure rate vs. any other brand if the 1st year rate is 20%; I am not buying that drive. I don't think the BackBlaze data intends to tell you how Drive A compares to Drive B but it is incredibly useful in identifying...

    unRAID or FreeNAS?

    FreeNAS is more robust and, in general, a better file and storage system. For 95% of home users it's probably not worth the extra overhead (hardware, power consumption, etc.) over unRAID. If unRAID ever gets dual parity availability (maybe they have by now) then there isn't a whole lot more...

    Great Links. I checked the SMART data on the drives in my server (a mix of Toshiba, WD, Seagate, Hitachi) and found it interesting that Seagate logs so much more SMART info than the other 3 brands. Of the five Metrics that BackBlaze uses, only Seagate uses SMART 187 & SMART 188. In fact, HD...

    BackBlaze Q4 2015 results are in!

    One thing I found interesting: A relevant observation from our Operations team on the Seagate drives is that they generally signal their impending failure via their SMART stats. Since we monitor several SMART stats, we are often warned of trouble before a pending failure and can take...

    UPS stats via router

    Sounds like something you'd better check with the UPS manufacturer. Maybe a log could be generated and stored on a Flash drive connected to the 2nd USB port on the router but it would be up to the UPS software.

    Help me set up a home network

    That's why you give them the same name and password; that way it just automatically connects to the strongest of the two and hangs on until the signal is lost. If you want certain devices connecting to certain APs then giving the SSIDs different names will solve that. The only thing you may...

    Help me set up a home network

    What you need is to decide which Asus you would like to have be the main router (DHCP, etc.). Personnaly, I would lean toward the AC66U but I doubt there will really be much of a difference. The decision would probably come down to where I am most likely to need wireless AC. Then set the...

    Would WD 6TB Blue 5400RPM drive be bad for a NAS?

    Rules for selecting a new Hard Drive: #1 - For home use in a low I/O environment on a software RAID (unRAID, FlexRAID, Storage Spaces, ZFS, etc.) then just about any drive is just fine. In fact, if your system doesn't need to keep the drive constantly spinning then the Desktop drives are...

    YANB (Yet Another NAS Build) - this thread is not like the others, I hope!

    #1 - What's your budget? #2 - Are you ready to invest in equipment that is ECC capable so that you can actually take advantage of ZFS? #3 - Double check your Plex transcoding path. I wouldn't use an i3 or G3250 if I was intending to transcode a full BD Rip to a high bitrate 1080p destination...

    Help me find a better cooler than my 212 EVO....

    Once you've crossed a certain point, it's the law of diminishing returns. I guess it depends on what you consider to be "noticeably better". Are you looking for .1 or .2 additional Ghz? You might find something not too exotic that could get it there under the perfect conditions. Otherwise...

    Help Choose R7000 or RT-AC68U

    Wait, you can use the AsusWRT-Merlin firmware on the R7000? I was gonna say the Asus just for that reason but if the firmware is the same I would go R7000.

    Pit Bull vs average bro

    Less to do with whether the bro even lifts and more to do with whether the bro is able to go for the kill from the green light. Any average male could probably take down a pitbull if they have the attack mindset and see the dog coming. The problem is when trying to fend it off and run away...

    I hate old people!

    I am on your side. I think they're cranky because at some point they realize that they are a drain on society and basic things like taking a pee or making toast have become cumbersome adventures but they are still afraid of death.I sympathize, I would probably act the same way if I was faced...

    I always run with EV comp at -.7

    Memory Foam Beds, Opinions

    Picked this one up at Costco about 3 weeks ago: http://www.costco.com/Novaform-14%22-Comfort-Grande-Queen-Memory-Foam-Mattress.product.100150123.html I have been really impressed by how it can be so firm and soft at the same time. Doesn't get as hot as the traditional Sealy mattress it replaced.

    What CPU do I need?

    They don't shift the load. Most just don't decode h265 yet so the CPU is forced to do all of the decoding and CPUs aren't very efficient at video decoding.

    What CPU do I need?

    Depends on how the 4K video is encoded and what capabilites your GPU has. Most stuff out there is encoded with the AVC/h264 codec and will probably be a lot more than a Core 2 Duo can handle at 1080p, let alone 4K. Insert a GPU/video card that supports hardware decoding of h264 (most of them...

    Advice for NAS selection

    Streaming and Transcoding are two different animals. Any cheap NAS can stream an HD file to a device but if the file isn't playback compatible then it has to be transcoded and that is where a good CPU is necessary. I am not saying that none of the NAS's are up to the task but the TS-251 would...

    Assassin, I have been following both your guides for a few years now. They are fantastic. I just did a cursory glance through the new link and noticed PeerBlock as a security recommendation. I had used it several years ago but it seemed to kind of just lose it's viability over time. You...

    New case

    3TB Seagate - another one bites the dust!

    I don't know if either one is supposed to fail more often, but the smaller notch has the 4 platters, runs hotter and slower and was generally regarded as much inferior to the newer one, at least at the time. I was only asking because I hadn't heard about the 2TB being particularly unreliable...

    Different strokes for different folks. I can give you a first hand experience of an Asus RT-AC68U vs. Archer C7. I used the C7 (a v1) for about 2 years until I got a T-Mobile Cell Spot from T-Mobile. The Cell Spot is just an Asus RT-AC68U with T-Mobile's special firmware. I reflashed the...

    Replacement for LG Optimus F3 (Small with Great Battery Life)

    I figured someone would mention signal strength but that is not the issue, it's why we switched. Out here in East Idaho, it's like the land that time forgot. There's some good speed out of the T-mobile service but coverage is just spotty. I can't make a phone call in my office that is 30 feet...
